It was early the next morning, and Zelda started to wake up. She yawned, and noticed that Sonic wasn't with her.
"Sonic? Where are you?" Zelda called.
Just then, Sonic ran straight at the door and opened it. He had a tray of food with him.
"You called?" Sonic replied.
"Oh, there you are!" Zelda said, as she saw the tray of pancakes in Sonic's hand. "I see you brought breakfast to me?"
"Yeah. I asked Samus if it was all right with her, and she didn't mind at all." Sonic explained, as he walked up to the bed. Although, he couldn't jump on it with the tray, because it would make the pancakes fall.
"Let me get that for you." Zelda told him, as she grabbed the tray from Sonic and set it on her lap. Sonic then jumped on the bed and sat down beside her.
"Mmmm...this looks delicious." Zelda said, as she stared at the pancakes.
"I agree." Sonic said, also staring at the pancakes.
"We better eat them while there still warm." Zelda noted.
"Deal." Sonic replied.
As they were eating away at there pancakes, Samus and Meta Knight peeked at the two on the bed with each other.
"Those two seem close with each other." Samus told Meta Knight.
"Yes." Meta Knight wondered. "They seem to have something better than just a friendship."
"You mean-
"However...I can't seem to predict it just yet." Meta Knight interuppted her.
Samus looked at the two for another moment or so, before she and Meta Knight quietly sneaking off.
Later that day, Sonic decided to go out for a run, while Zelda and Samus decided to make lunch. Dedede and Bowser were arguing about who's the better king, Ike and Meta Knight were once again practicing with swords, Mario and Peach decided to go to the park, Lucas was practicing with his magic, Olimar and his Pikmin were relaxing under the shade, DK and Diddy were eating a banana, Nana and Popo were playing in the sandbox, and Yoshi rested in they yard.
Inside, Samus and Zelda were making burgers. Zelda was feeling uneasy because she didn't know if Link would return today or not. Samus noticed this.
"Zelda? Are you okay?" Samus asked.
"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine." Zelda replied.
"Look, Link's going to return today and I'm sure you will be the fir\st thing he's sees." Samus told her.
"But Samus...never mind. I almost forgot about what Sonic told me, so I guess I shouldn't worry about it."
"That's all right. It happens to us." Samus mentioned.
"Your right" Zelda said, as she turned over a burger." Ow."
"You all right?" Samus wondered.
"Yeah, a little burn, that's all." Zelda answered.
"Better be careful with those." Samus warned her.
"I'm on it." Zelda noted.
Outside the mansion, Olimar was still resting outside, until the sound of his Pikmin started to jump up and down, excitedly.
"What are you guys so excited about?" Olimar wondered.
The Pikmin pointed in the direction that they were talking about. Olimar understood what they were saying, and looked in that direction. Olimar gasped.
"Is that...?"
It was him. The green tunic, the Master Sword behind his back, along with his shield. Wearing kokori boots and making his way towards the mansion.
"It's...him!" Olimar noticed. "Link! Over here!"
Link turned in the direction of Olimar's voice. "Olimar! What's up?" Link waved.
Olimar got up and went over to Link, followed by his Pikmin. "Link! Are you well? Is your chest fine?" Olimar wondered.
"Yeah. The doctors said that I still need to rest from practicing for a week though, but after that, I should be fine.
"That's good." Olimar sighed in relief. "Everyone will be so relieved that you came back!" Olimar noted.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see Zelda and the others again." Link said.
"Well, come on. I'll lead you to the door." Olimar gestured, as Link followed him back to the mansion.
Back inside, Zelda and and Samus were just about done with the burgers.
"They should be done by now. Do you want to let the others know that their ready?" Samus asked.
"I'll go outside and tell Olimar first." Zelda noted, as she walked up to the front door.
However, little did she know, that Olimar was right at the door with Link.
"You ready?" Captain Olimar asked.
"Yeah." Link replied.
Just as Olimar was about to open the door, Zelda opened the door and was about to call Olimar, until her eyes widened and hands covering her mouth.
"Link!?" Zelda thought.
"Yeah. That's me." Link smiled.
Zelda wasted no time, as she hugged Link and kissed him on the cheek multiple times.
"Woah...hold it, Zelda. You don't hurt my chest again, do you?"
Zelda stopped what she was doing and let go of Link. She had tears in her eyes, but they were happy tears.
"Link. I'm so glad your back!" Zelda noted.
"Uh-huh. I know."
"But...what about your chest?" Zelda wondered in fear.
"Don't worry about it, the doctors said that I need to take it easy for a while so that I can get the pain off of me." Link answered.
"Just be careful Link. I don't want to lose you again, okay?" Zelda said with some more tears rolling down.
"I will." Link said.
"Zelda? Why haven't you- Samus was about to ask her, until she saw Link.
"Hey Samus." Link waved.
"Link!" Samus ran over and hugged him.
"Ow, careful. My chest." Link said.
Samus quickly let go of him, remembering the wound that was still recovering. "Sorry." Samus said.
"Don't worry about it. Now, what are you guys doing?" Link asked.
"Oh, I was asking Zelda to call the smashers for lunch. We're having burgers."
"Mmm. Sounds good." Link said, with his stomach growling. "I haven't had anything to eat for a while, so I could go for something."
"No Link, you need to take it easy. So let me take care of you."
"Well...all right, I guess." Link wondered.
A little later, while lunch was going on, Sonic returned with a handful of flowers in his hand.
"I'm going to give these Zelda for a surprise." Sonic said to himself, as he opened the door and went inside.
Samus saw him and smiled. "Sonic, what are those flowers for?"
"These are for Zelda. I'm going to give these to her as a surprise." Sonic answered.
"Oh."
"What is it?"
"Uh...Sonic, there's something that I have to tell you." Samus said.
"That's all right, you can tell me later." Sonic interrupted her, as ran went upstairs.
Samus looked on and had a bad feeling about what was going to happen.
Sonic made it to Zelda's door and opened it, slightly.
"Zelda? I got these flowers for-"
But he stopped, as he saw Link in there with Zelda. She was hugging him, and Link was hugging her back.
"Link, I love you. I hope that you don't leave my side again." Zelda said.
"Don't worry, I will forever remain at your side as your friend." Link replied.
Sonic didn't hear what they were saying. He had a tear in his eye, as he dropped the flowers and walked away...heartbroken.
